Leddy’s an interesting situation though…for 2 post seasons in a row Q has not played Nick like he trusts him. Leddy has been here long enough to have become a top 4 DMan and to be a key component of our Defence. From my perspective Leddy is these things, but Q is the coach. It will be tough to move Oduya if Q doesn’t value Leddy.
